Measurement of the Sm-151(n,gamma)Sm-152 cross section at n_TOF
(2005-07-25)
The Sm-151(n,gamma) Sm-152 cross section, which is important for the interpretation of the Sm-151 branching as an s-process thermometer, was measured from 1 eV up to 1 MeV at the innovative n-TOF facility at CERN. Based ...
Measurements of the 90,91,92,94,96Zr(n, gamma) cross-sections at n_TOF
(2005-07-25)
Neutron capture cross sections of the 90,91,91,94,96Zr have been measured over the energy range from 1 eV to 1 MeV at the spallation neutron facility n-TOF at CERN in 2003. The innovative features of the neutron beam, in ...
Neutron capture cross section measurements for nuclear astrophysics at CERN n_TOF
(2005-07-25)
A series of neutron capture cross section measurements of interest to nuclear astrophysics have been recently performed at n-TOF, the neutron spallation source operating at CERN. The low repetition frequency of the proton ...
The data acquisition system of the neutron time-of-flight facility n_TOF at CERN
(2005-02-11)
The n_TOF facility at CERN has been designed for the measurement of neutron capture, fission and (n, xn) cross-sections with high accuracy. This requires a flexible and-due to the high instantaneous neutron flux-almost ...
High-resolution study of Np-237 fission cross section from 5 eV to 1 MeV
(American Institute of Physics (AIP), 2005)
A series of measurements of Np-237 fission cross section have been performed at the CERN spallation neutron facility n_TOF which covers a wide energy range from 1 eV up to 250 MeV. A fast ionization chamber (FIC) was used ...
New measurement of the capture cross section of bismuth and lead isotopes
(American Institute of Physics (AIP), 2005)
All the stable lead isotopes and Bi-209 have been recently measured at n-TOF [I] (CERN) in the range from 1 eV up to I MeV, using an optimized experimental setup. A set of two homemade CA detectors with carbon-fibre canning ...
The n(-)TOF facility at CERN: Performances and first physics results
(American Institute of Physics (AIP), 2005)
The neutron Time of Flight (n_TOF) facility at CERN is a source of a wide-range (1 eV <E-n <250 MeV) flux of neutrons, generated by spallation of 20-GeV/c protons onto a solid lead target. The goal of the n_TOF is to provide ...
Neutron capture cross sections for the Re/Os clock
(American Institute of Physics (AIP), 2005)
The radioactive decay of (187)Re -> (187)Os (t(1/2) = 43 Gyr) is suited for dating the onset of heavy-element nucleosynthesis. The radiogenic contribution to the (187)Os abundance is the difference between the natural ...
Measurement of capture cross sections of 90,91,92,94,96Zr isotopes at n_TOF
(American Institute of Physics (AIP), 2005)
The neutron capture cross sections for Zr isotopes have important implications in nuclear technologies as well in the field of nuclear astrophysics. The innovative features of the n_TOF CERN facility allowed for an accurate ...
Measurements at n_TOF of the neutron capture cross section of minor actinides relevant to the nuclear waste transmutation
(American Institute of Physics (AIP), 2005)
Accurate and reliable neutron-capture cross-section data for actinides are necessary for the proper design, safety regulation, and precise performance assessment of transmutation devices such as Fast Critical Reactors or ...
